The Berbice Cricket Board said it has sought legal advice on allegations that suggest “wrong doing” at the board level, by former executive and treasurer of the board Godwyn Allicock.

Allicock posted on his facebook account that the BCB collected millions of dollars but those monies were never deposited in the BCB’s bank account. He is also alleging that the board treasurer has not signed a single cheque when constitutionally he is required to.

He is also claiming that the board has failed to carry out its mandate, since they took up office.

However, the board maintained that the allegations are baseless, adding that the allegations “appear triggered, not by fact or evidence, but an emotional reaction by Allicock. These allegations are completely false, and seriously damaging to the reputation of the board and its members.

The BCB further explained that every legitimate procedure regarding the financial affairs of the BCB has been carried out, where by monies or cheques collected, have been deposited into the board’s account at Republic Bank in New Amsterdam.

The board is also maintaining that the treasurer is a compulsory signatory and therefore every cheque has to be signed by that individual.

For any withdrawal to be made, the board said that a strict process has to be followed, where a voucher is prepared, authorised and then certified by various BCB’s officials.

According to the board, a monthly financial statement is available at the board’s office.

Meanwhile, the BCB is very concerned that, Allicock who is responsible for sports in the region continues to spread such falsehood, and at the same time is making all efforts to destroy the board and cricket in Berbice.
